Clean install on a first gen 2008 macbook air.

I've just bought a first generation 11" macbook air. I'd like to bring it all up to date, but the issue is that it' still running leopard and doesn't come with any of the media. I only have a charger with it.

No on the plus side, I do have an iMac and a powerbook so I was wondering if it's possible to use these to help me in some way - sharing the optical drive for instance.

My aim is to get it to a point where I can run lion so at least I won't have to worry about needing a physical drive anymore.
